She also addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, and aging-related worries. Eating concerns, hoarding, and trauma-related issues are among other areas she works on. Her background includes many years in clinical practice supporting people through grief, anger, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

How ACT and CBT are used in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking steps that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and teaches concrete skills for mood, panic, and ongoing stress management. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or a blend will best address the issues at hand and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video offers face-to-face interaction for longer sessions, phone can work when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still working toward meaningful change.
